Concept and Design

GamFratesi took their inspiration from the traditional sewing basket when designing the modern and highly elegant Cestlavie accessories. The textural sensations of the saddle-leather and the lightness of the metal design come together in an evocative and stylish visual synthesis. Intricate processing showcases the leather culture and top-quality craftsmanship with which Poltrona Frau has always been associated. Skilfully handwoven straps of Cuoio Saddle Extra leather give form to the casing, one by one. Supported by a tubular aluminium structure, the Cestlavie storage basket appears to be suspended on slender, almost graphic, steel legs. The depth of the saddle-leather and the clean metal create interesting light effects. Alongside the indoor version, GamFratesi also designed Cestlavie Outdoor, which maintains the theme of weaving and basketry but changes in materials.

Poltrona Frau’s Cestlavie Outdoor small table, designed by the GamFratesi designers, is a versatile and refined furnishing solution created for outdoor spaces of every kind. Its design draws inspiration from the traditional sewing basket, reinterpreted in a contemporary way through the use of innovative, weather-resistant materials such as powder-coated aluminum and hand-woven rope. This choice not only guarantees long-lasting durability, but also offers a pleasant tactile and visual experience, combining the sturdiness of the structure with the lightness of the weave.

 

One of the most interesting aspects of Cestlavie Outdoor is its multiple functionality: the small table can be used as a practical storage container, as an elegant ice bucket to keep beverages cool during outdoor gatherings, or as a simple side table for books, magazines, and accessories. This flexibility makes it ideal for those who want to furnish terraces, balconies, and private gardens with style, but also more exclusive spaces such as panoramic verandas, luxury hotel lounges, spa and wellness resort relaxation areas. The presence of optional accessories allows the user experience to be further personalized, adapting it to the needs of every occasion.

 

The small table stands out for its ability to blend perfectly into outdoor environments with a contemporary style, but also into more classic settings thanks to the artisanal attention to detail and the quality of the materials. It can be selected in different finishes to coordinate with other furnishing elements and create harmonious, sophisticated settings. Its elegant and understated appearance also makes it suitable as a distinctive feature in high-end contract spaces, such as outdoor areas of exclusive restaurants and bars, common areas of boutique hotels, or relaxation zones on yachts and panoramic terraces.

 

People who value design and quality will find Cestlavie Outdoor to be an ideal answer to outdoor furnishing needs, whether the goal is to create an informal dining area for dinners with friends or to set up a lounge corner where they can relax with a drink at sunset. Those who manage high-end hospitality properties can also enhance their spaces by offering guests an experience of comfort and style, thanks to the practicality of a small table that can become a container or an ice bucket whenever needed.

 

The small table is also well suited to more original solutions: it can be used as a practical support by the poolside, as a container for towels and accessories, or as a service element during exclusive outdoor events such as cocktail parties, vernissages, or ceremonies. Its resistance to weather conditions also makes it perfect for seaside or mountain locations, where the climate may be more aggressive. In addition, the possibility of exploring its placement through augmented reality allows anyone to imagine and easily plan how to incorporate the table into their own environment, offering an advanced and engaging shopping experience.

 

In summary, the Cestlavie Outdoor Small Table is aimed at those looking for a multifunctional, elegant, customizable, and durable outdoor furnishing accessory capable of elevating the aesthetic and functional level of any outdoor space, whether private or professional.
